Thank you for your last letter, I enjoyed reading it very much. It seemed that you had a more wonderful summer vacation than I did. I hope I can also go to Japan one day.

In this letter I will tell you about my best friend. Her name is Kate.

Kate has long brown hair and blue eyes and I have short black hair and black eyes. We are both 13 years old, but she is a little taller than me. She is always happy and very friendly.

We sit next to each other in class. She is good at math, and I do well in history. We often help each other with our schoolwork. We always go home together and play computer games for an hour. Kate thinks very quickly and she usually wins. Kate is learning to play the piano. I am learning to play the violin. We practice together every Monday and Wednesday. Now we can play very well.

Sometimes Kate stays the night at my house, or I stay the night at her house. We always have a good time. Have you ever stayed the night at your best friend’s house?
